Default Some quick cleaning questions

Ok, I have 2 cleaning questions

1. I have a rear plastic window and it is REALLY foggy! Like, dangerous to drive foggy. What is a good product I can use to clean this off that I can buy at a local place if its possible to get out?

2. I use normal shower towels to wash the water off my car and over time, I have TONS of towel scratches all over my car, and since its BB they are very noticable. Will a good waxing get these out? If not, what will?

1)You can try plexus to get rid of the foggyness, but since you have an 01, I think your window has just about had it.

2)You should NEVER use regular towels on paint. You need to clay it, polish it with some pretty "has a lot of cutting power" pad, then wax. Wax alone will just hide it for a few hours.

I agree, Plexus is going to be your best bet for the foggy rear window. Just keep in mind that it's more of a filler than a polish, so you'll have to re-apply it fairly often to keep it clear.

As for the paint, if you want to do it yourself...I'd suggest doing a lot more reading on this forum, and picking up a PC for starters. You might want to check in with your local section of the forum and see if there are any other S2ki members near you. You might find someone local that can give you a little hands on assistance....or maybe a local clubs tech/detail day could be in the works with spring coming.

Good Luck!
